Emergency Domestic Violence Shelter

Our shelter is a former private home located in a residential neighborhood with five bedrooms (one handicapped accessible), multiple bathrooms and laundry rooms, a kitchen, a dining room, a living room and a large enclosed backyard. Families will share a room(s) together. People who are single may share a room with one other single client. 

We provide shelter to victims of domestic violence regardless of age, race, creed, color, national origin, marital status, gender, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, military status, genetic predisposition or carrier status, disability, victim status or any other characteristic protected by law.

New York State regulations allow for a person to stay in domestic violence shelter for up to 90 days. It is possible to receive extensions if a safe housing option has not been secured. The maximum time allowable is 180 days.

Wellspring’s victim advocates will work with people to identify a plan that helps them transition out of shelter into safe and affordable housing. If someone is not able to afford rent without assistance, we can help people in applying for the various subsidized housing options available in Saratoga County, including applying for Wellspring’s New View Housing Program, which is available to people who are homeless due to domestic violence or sexual assault.
